8 Months of Hannah

                     
We've had 8 wonderful months of Hannah and it just keeps getting better! She learned how to crawl the Tuesday before Thanksgiving (as mentioned in previous post?) but that just wasn't good enough for her!  Pretty soon after learning how to crawl she learned how to stand by pulling herself up! This was done in her crib that was being used as a holding station before her bath and not at night, thankfully!  So we lowered the crib and figured it was something that she probably wouldn't do a whole lot, at least yet.  (Buzzer sound)  WRONG!  She pulls herself up on everything now and loves to walk around with you holding her hands.  Her favorite thing to do now is to push a laundry basket around the house so she can walk.  What has happened to my sweet little immobile girl and why has she been replaced with a sweet mobile baby? I'm not sure we're ready for this, its too soon.
We have baby proofed the immediate things like outlets and padded the fireplace brick but will be adding cabinet openers to that here shortly so the little chunk can't get into them.
Speaking of chunk, according to the allergist growth chart, she's in the 50% for weight and 75% for height, though I'm not sure I completely believe the percentiles are correct.  She weighs 17.6 lbs and is 27 3/4 in tall!  She's still in size 2 diapers though so she can't be that chunky! She loves to babble at varying pitches and volumes, likes to play with her food, wants to eat whatever mommy and daddy are eating and gets pretty mad if you feed her her food while eating our own, she will pretty much stop eating her food until she gets what we eat, this may not be all that bad!
We have taken some pictures with our new camera and played with photoshop a bit and here are some things we've come up with, have fun!
